Swan Yamaha's  Noriyuki Haga has planted himself firmly in the Showdown hunt after a trio of point-scoring positions for the Swan Yamaha team.

Working with new crew chief Mark ‘Brains’ Woodage, Haga was in the fight for all three races but couldn’t quite make the podium. He has some changes lined up to remedy the situation at Brands Hatch.

“We started off the weekend with a good setting from before and I have been working with my new crew chief Mark and we continued to find a good positive setting.,” said Haga.

“We were consistent in all three races, for sure we need to do some work with the rear suspension setup but my feeling is getting better. In the last race I was happier and I no longer feel like I am sometimes riding a motocross bike and that we can go to one of my favourite tracks next at Brands Hatch and be fast.”
